What's the purpose of the National Agency For Urban Regeneration ?

ANRU IS THE SOLE NATIONAL AGENCY FOR URBAN REGENERATION PROJECTS 

A VISION

On 14 October 2002, in Troyes, President Jacques Chirac laid the political foundations for what would later become the “orientation and programming for the city and urban renewal law”: “The Republic cannot accept seeing entire neighbourhoods sink into violence, lawlessness and despair. The Republic would no longer be (true to) itself if it accepted that, on its territory, a growing number of its inhabitants were left to fend for themselves (...). This is not just a problem for the residents of difficult neighbourhoods. It is a problem for the nation as a whole.”

A LAW

A public institution of an industrial and commercial nature (EPIC) called the “National Agency for Urban Regeneration“ (ANRU) was created with the 2003 law for cities and urban regeneration, also known as the ‘Borloo Law’. The National Urban Regeneration Plan aims to “restructure the priority urban neighbourhoods, with a view to improve social diversity and sustainable development”. These neighbourhoods are characterised by a concentration of poverty and major urban socio-economic challenges. “The programme includes urban development projects; the rehabilitation, renovation, demolition and production of housing; the creation, rehabilitation and demolition of public or community facilities; the reorganisation of economic and commercial activity areas, and any other investment contributing to urban renewal.”
